i've been trying to understand exactly how astromancy works considering they 'attune'* themselves to the aether of the heavens / celestial bodies and seemingly do not use internal reservoirs of aether or that of the environment like every other class does.
my question is, do they use aether from some of the seven heavens? or from the stars/space? if so, how exactly do they draw upon this aether? it's not exactly right there for them to use- the aether would, in theory, be quite far and inaccessible. and also, isn't space lacking in aether anyways? besides our star, the rest of the universe and other planets seem to be much less rich in aether and instead lean more towards dynamis.
*and what does 'attuning' mean in this context anyways? does it mean the astrologian is aspecting their aether to that of the stars? like, umbral draw aspects their aether towards and umbral and astral to astral aether? astrologians have both unaspected and aspected spells though
and wouldn't it be possible for their aether to become unstable due to the 'attuning' (if we consider attuning to be the same as a person's aether becoming aspected) or even become affected negatively in a way similar to primal tempering or voidsent/sineaters?
overall i'm just curious to see what people think of astromancy post myths of the realm + endwalker, considering the lore given.
